I like the red color, duh its small, but bigger then my current one. overall a bit expensive, and wish i could get more storage, but i'm fine with it. 4GBs of RAM is perfect! 512mb GFX card is fine for now. Lighted keyboard!

I like the design. Like a portable desktop. the detatchable keyboard is nice. Good for game and movie presantation. I don't like the price, and i defentally don't want the ATI 256 GFX card, i can get a 512 on the other. I do like the storage though. 4GBs of RAM is perfect!

all is subject to change by the time Christmas comes...

Your thoughts?

i decided to stop the whole bad cluster search thing, found out that it was just making more errors, and now the hard drive is dead so i have to replace it now... at least i'll get it fixed faster, just all data is now gone so i'll have to start completely over...

Might even get a 100GB Hard Drive :D that will hold me over till the new laptop... :D

I've seen these animes on youtube:
InuYasha (on ep. 35)
Fruits Basket (saw all eps.)
Ah! My Goddess Season 2 (on ep.10)
Trigun (saw all eps.)
Blood+ (on ep. 35)
Bleach (on ep 87)
Naruto (on ep 192)
Rurouni Kenshin (saw all eps, and Trust and Betrayal OVA)
Full metal panic (saw all eps. of season 1)

I had a garage sale on June 24th, made 75 dollars or so.

On July 4th, i lit off some fireworks. My dad had a genius idea of lighting off four screaming fireworks at once... ow my ears...

On the 8th i had the garage sale again, making 125 dollars this time :D

Lastly, had the world record of the "most curse words used in a day" thanks to my computer :P

i finished cheacking my desktop for errors and bad clusters and... none...

so my computer is just... fine... even though nothing works and most programs freeze... well at least i'm going to be back here, just not with photoshop stuff till my laptop is fixed or i get my new computer...

well i'll just be a normal everyday GS member for now...

i'm starting to think technology hates me...

well my desktops been messing up lately. I'm currently running a virus scan, but i feel i may need to do what i'm doing on my laptop to this computer so i may be gone for awhile. I hate computers... anyways i'm getting a new laptop for Christmas. it will have a 240GB storage, 4GB RAM, 2.16 Ghz duo processor, and a nividia GFX card. BTW right now i'm using a computer with 64mb of RAM so 4 GB is a huge improvement :P

see ya (till most likely winter or later)

NO PMS!

and also my Photoshop is not working so i can't do anything art wise so no requests... i'm so bored...

I made it to lvl 30! :D

i'm currently taking a break from GS and photoshop. once i'm back i'll be back to normal. No this has nothing to do with the 80+ temperatures (that make me and my computer too hot to work in)

i wish my AC was working but its been messed up since last year.

i also got some new games to play so see ya!

last Saturday, i went to my old new media class's 2006 Capstone presentations, i was a graduate of that class :D. Anyways a funny thing happened there. Somthing straight out of an anime! My friend Max, Danzaiver here, dropped his cell phone and it landed near a little girl, he went to pick it up, and it looked like he was grabbing at the little girl pervertedly :P. She even jumped and did a little scream :lol: it was so funny. Max was so embarrassed... it was infront of a large group too... :lol:

made it to level 29. So um yeah... um... can't really think of any thing to write :(
